and why is Obama a Nobel prize winner? if you answered politics, well, what do I know?

Look it isn't just Motor Trend. It isn't just Car and Driver. It's just about every motoring publication. I haven't read a negative review yet. I've actually know 2 people who have taken test drives in the Volt and they were blown away. One of these two was a real skeptic and loyal Toyota buyer. He was won over by the performance. He likes it much better than his Prius. I think he's wishing that he didn't buy a new Prius just last year.

I know that the Government bailout of GM was not the way most of us wanted to see company restructured. I know most of us hate the UAW (myself included) and their backing of Democrats. But we still need manufacturing and the auto industry is still a big part of that. I just wanted to remind you the Volt was conceived and put into development long before Obama came on the scene. He had absolutely nothing to do with this vehicle. The Volt is the product of a bunch of bright guys at GM (all Americans and one German) who were trying to come up with ways of decreasing our use of imported oil. Now that's not a bad thing and I cannot understand why so many begrudge the Volt the success it deserves. I've been enthusiastic about the vehicle since its inception. I'll probably buy a Volt or another EREV for my next vehicle.
